Call for Cancer Center Amsterdam Proof of Concept (PoC) and Proof of Principle (PoP) studies 2022
The board of Cancer Center Amsterdam is pleased to announce a new CCA call, a call for Proof of Concept and Proof of Principle (PoC/PoP) studies. This grant is made available through the fundraising activities of the Cancer Center Amsterdam Foundation.
Goal
To translate promising research findings from our own (Amsterdam UMC) preclinical research into a clinical Proof-of-Concept (PoC; early clinical drug development) or Proof-of Principle (PoP; early clinical therapy development) study in man. If successful, the data generated in this PoP/PoC is expected to lead to a larger clinical trial. Applications must be submitted via the chair(s) of a patient-research group (see the documents for more details). Selected pre-proposals will be discussed in a meeting with experts to optimize and improve the proposed clinical project.
Status
Closed for submission.

Cancer Center Amsterdam Call 2022
Internal CCA grants are made possible through the fundraising activities of the Cancer Center Amsterdam Foundation. Amsterdam UMC researchers are invited to submit project proposals involving cancer research, including translational, clinical and quality of life projects.
Goal
Internal CCA grants aim to fund innovative projects with a high potential that are not ready to submit for funding elsewhere. The ultimate goal to allow aspiring researchers’ promising lines of research a chance to obtain enough data so that a robust proposal can be submitted to external funding agencies, like the Dutch Cancer Society or the Dutch Research Council. Therefore, if substantial preliminary data is already available, your chances to receive internal CCA funding will be limited and we recommend that you submit your project elsewhere.
Status
Closed for submission.

Travel grants
Goal
The Cancer Center Amsterdam awards travel grants to provide PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research technicians, research nurses and 'laboranten' the opportunity to travel and receive training in novel methods and/or techniques (both preclinical and clinical) abroad. Both the recipients and CCA should benefit from these work visits. For the recipient, the new methods should support their research, and the experience abroad will improve their CV and help with future grant applications. The benefits for CCA include expansion of international networking and the accrual of novel technologies.
You can apply for a stay of 1-2 months abroad, with a maximum of 2250 euro per grant).
